An actual Tom and Crow used in episode 1005 Blood Waters of Dr. Z were sold for $5000 each. Each bot was signed by the puppeteer and came with a tape of the episode and a certificate of authenticity signed by the puppeteer and Jim Mallon. The Tom was resold on eBay and then traveled the world.

If the owner of either Tom or Crow happens to read this I would like to get some pictures of the bots and a nice copy of the certificate to add to this site. Please contact me if you have any info on where the bots are today.
